WHAT THE DOCTORS SAY

POLISH TITLE: CO MÓWIĄ LEKARZE

REPRESENTED BY KFF

A seen-it-all doctor knocked out of her daily routine confesses the biggest mistake of her life.Brain-death examination of a teenage girl and a liver transplant for a patient unlikely to survive the operation. That's the daily routine of Doctor Glik, an anesthesiologist with long-gone passion for her job. Confronted by Ms. Knap, a rich and demanding family member of one of her patients, Doctor Glik says something that she really should not. The disproportionate conflict puts Doctor Glik in a position she would never expect to find herself in.
